LIVE: Kiwis too good for Tonga in fiery clash
New Zealand 20, Tonga 6
New Zealand are having their way with Tonga through the middle, but mistakes like this won’t help.
Tonga run the ball on the last and it goes to ground, nobody falls on it and Jordan Rapana dashes away only to be tackled by Kotoni Staggs a metre out!

But it’s at that point when Christian Tuipulotu comes over the top with a blatant flop and he gives referee Grant Atkins no option but to send him to the bin.
The Kiwis take full advantage with a glorious long pass from Dylan Brown finding winger Ronaldo Mulitalo, who athletically grounds it in the corner to extend the lead.
The next few minutes are key for Tonga – they can’t let this margin balloon any further before half time.
